I'm Jimi May and I am the saxophonist for Opus 23. I began learning the saxophone more than 40 years ago and have played many different genres of music. some of which are Big Band, Smooth Jazz,R&B, Gospel, Jazz standards and classic Rock. I have had the honor of being a staff musician at The First Baptist Church of Glenarden and perform with musicians such as Steven Hurd, Anthony Brown, Isaac Daniels and Danial Witherspoon and many other giants in gospel music. I have played at a few historic venues in the DMV such as The Bethesda Blues and Jazz supper club and the world renowned Blues Alley with the band Soulcial Hour, under the leadership of bassist Wayne Thomas. While living in Memphis, TN, I played for Grove Factor under the leadership of drummer Terry Bam Bam Jemison
